听力原文： My first semester of college was the worst I've been through. I had made plans during the summer to share an apartment with two of my close friends from high school. But before we moved in，problems started developing.

One of the two girls I was to share an apartment with was going to work instead of going to college。 However，a week before we were to move in，she found out that she didn't get the job. She is forced to live at home and look for work. The rest two of us lasted for a month and then agreed that we couldn't make it with the higher monthly rent payments. I started looking around.

I found another apartment and the rent wasn't bad. The place was noisy，but it was the best I could afford for the time. However，one day when I returned，I saw smoke coming from the back of the house. The cottage had caught fire，and my room was a burned mess。I was once more out of a place to stay.

I finally gave up looking around and moved home. I had to drive forty miles to school every day，so I almost spent as much on gas as I would have on lodging. I was very bored I almost lost the will to study. It had been really a bad semester!

em. Love apple was the name used many years ago for the tomato.

The tomato is originally an American plant. It was found in South America by early Spanish explorers. The word tomato comes from the native Nahuatl word tomatl. But when it moved north, the plant earned a different name. Remarkably, the settlers in North America thought it was poisonous. They believed that to eat it was surely to die. It was said that deserted suitors would threaten to eat a tomato to cause their coldhearted lovers-regret. Because of this legend, the settlers called the tomato a "love apple." While people enjoyed other native plants such as corn and sweet potatoes, everyone avoided the tomato.

No one knows who first dared to eat a tomato. Perhaps someone was brave enough, or lovesick enough, to try out the truth of the rumors. Of course, whoever ate this fruit was perfectly safe. No one died from eating a love apple. Still, it was many years before the people fully believed that the tomato was a safe, and even good food. But its use did become common, and the plant was sent across the ocean to become part of many traditional European dishes.

The language from which we derived the word tomato is______.

A．Portuguese

B．Spanish

C．Nahuati

D．European

材料：

During the morning of 2 August 1999 the supply vessel Putford Worker was working cargo at installations in the North Sea. She had completed operations at one installation without incident．

At 1110 she approached the second installation and carried out precautionary engine and steering tests．These were satisfactory，and at 1115 the vessel was in position to work cargo．The master was on the bridge at the joystick control；the weather was fine and the sea calm． The first lift was a 10&39; x 8&39; container．The deck crew attached the hook of the installation&39;s crane to the container，and moved forward to a safe position．The master then noticed that the vessel was moving forward out of position and moved the joystick to counteract the ahead movement．He then saw that the port propeller was indicating full ahead pitch，so changed from joystick to manual pitch controls and promptly put them to full astern．

This did not prevent the vessel moving ahead so far that the attached container be dragged over the stern and into the sea. Placing the manual pitch controls to zero then caused both propellers to return to neutral．Control of the vessel was regained，and the problem did not immediately re-occur．

Later tests and inspections by specialist control engineers and the propeller manufacturers showed no fault with the control systems or the port propeller．However，some wear was found in the feedback linkages on the control system of the starboard propeller．This was rectified，and manoeuvring tests completed satisfactorily．

Passage Five

Roman soldiers in some places built long rows of signal towers. When they had a message to send, the soldiers shouted it from tower to tower. If there were enough towers and enough soldiers with loud voices, important news could be sent quickly over distance.

In Africa, people learned to send messages by beating on a series of large drums (鼓). Each drum was kept within hearing distance of the next one. The drum beats were sent out in a special way that all the drummers understood. Though the messages were simple, they could be sent at great speed for hundreds of miles.

In the eighteenth century, a French engineer found a new way to send short messages. In this way, a person held a flag in each hand and the arms were moved to various positions representing different letters of the alphabet (字母表). It was like spelling out words with flags and arms.

Over a long period of time, people sent messages by all these different ways. However, not until the telephone was invented in America in the nineteenth century could people send speech sounds over a great distance in just a few seconds.

51. According to this passage, the Roman way of communication depended very much on______.

A. fine weather

B. high tower

C. the spelling system

D. arm movements
